Back to 1995

Chapter 949

"The new smartphone system is very important, and it will even be one of the biggest selling points of the mobile phone. It will bring the mobile phone into a new era!"

Song Yang said to Huo Buluo, let him work overtime to get the smartphone system out.

Hobrow left with excitement. For him who was born as an engineer, it was not that he was not interested in power. .

After Huo Buluo, several people appeared around Song Yang, all of whom were heads of various departments who took advantage of the split of ICQ and came to express their loyalty to Song Yang.

Although Song Yang threatened that the split and reorganization of ICQ this time was completely impartial and had no selfishness, but in the eyes of everyone in the Bruno gang, Song Yang was completely helping his brothers to expand their borders this time. The kind that puts good things in one's own arms without acting...

Before finally leaving the banquet, Eiger came over, and Song Yang also raised his glass to him, "Congratulations, Eiger!"

Eger can be said to be one of the biggest winners of this ICQ split. He broke away from ICQ, set up his own business again, and got rid of all his debts.

The current cold winter of the Internet and the turmoil in the telecommunications industry have not had much impact on American Telecom. Instead, they can take advantage of the opportunity to take those old telecom groups into their pockets!

Iger is still very calm. Over the past few years, he has maintained a gentle and elegant style in American Telecom, and his reputation is very good. He is not as crazy as he suddenly became a big shot, and he is not as domineering as Eisner was in Disney.

However, Eiger's ability has been fully demonstrated in the past few years. Almost from scratch, America Telecom has established the longest broadband line covering America, the telecom company with the most mobile signal towers in America, and the No. [-] telecom company in America. The second major mobile phone retail stores, etc., were all established in the hands of Iger.

If it is said that Eiger has no ability, none of this will happen, and within America Telecom, there is no one who will stand up to Eiger. This shows how Eiger's wrist is. The good-tempered old man has been driven away a long time ago...

"Everything about American Telecom is inseparable from your support. America Telecom was established by Song you, and it will always belong to the Bruno family!"

Iger had a drink with Song Yang, and said the same to Song Yang and Song Yang, showing that Iger knew his position, he was a professional manager, and he would not occupy the magpie's nest like Eisner.

Song Yang took a deep look at Iger, then smiled, and patted Iger's shoulder, "Just like Welch, the history of American Telecom also has a part of you!"

Song Yang, I also praised Eiger, comparing him to Welch who founded General Electric. For a professional manager in America, being able to compare him with Welch, who has already become a god, is already the highest praise.

Song Yang did not treat Eiger badly either. He is now one of the professional managers with the highest salary in America, and already holds more than 5% of America Telecom's equity. As long as he does not leave America Telecom in the future, he can continue to get Dividends and equity incentives.

When he retires, he is expected to become one of America Telecom's minority shareholders and leave a large fortune to his descendants. He doesn't have to climb up the ladder again like Iger, and his family will also become a celebrity in America. one!

"WorldCom is down now, it is an opportunity for American Telecom!"

Song Yang said unabashedly to Eiger, ready to sit on the table where Shitong's big meal is, "After the new commander appears, Shitong and other giant companies that have fallen, it's time to share the cake , American Telecom can try to eat telecom companies such as MFS and MCI!"

The boss of WorldCom has gone to the federal prison to step on the sewing machine, and WorldCom is already bankrupt, but it doesn't mean that WorldCom is now completely finished.

Although the current WorldCom is full of scandals, the [-] or [-] telecom companies it bought back are not fake, and there are many telecom giants like MFS and MCI. When WorldCom bought them, the price was a bit high, but That doesn't mean it's all water.

WorldCom now still has 4000 employees, including technicians in the research and development departments of its major companies, and over 1070 million global users. It also has nominal assets of 410 billion US dollars, and of course, [-] billion US dollars in debt.

But now WorldCom's revenue is still not low, and the annual revenue can still exceed 165 billion US dollars. In addition, there are 28 billion US dollars in cash on the books. I have to say that Bernard Ebes is really a talent, playing tricks To be able to play to this level, if it hadn't been stabbed by its own executives to expose WorldCom's financial fraud, it is estimated that WorldCom can continue to play for several years.

These are enough to show that you can still get a lot of good things by squeezing the water of Shitong. up.

Iger nodded, "I will find a public relations company to prepare enough cash to participate in WorldCom's auction!"

Iger also knows that as long as it gets MFS, MCI and other telecom groups, America Telecom will make up for the last shortcoming. America Telecom, which owns the telephone business, and even the Telephone and Telegraph Group, may be able to challenge it.

Of course, Iger knows better that it is not so easy for American Telecom to eat the fat of WorldCom. Telephone and Telegraph Group, Verizon and other companies will obviously not let American Telecom easily achieve their wish, and they will see another powerful Opponents appeared before them!
"After a while, maybe America Telecom can cooperate with Alcatel Mobile and a certain company to take over the Alcatel Telecom equipment manufacturer in France!"

Song Yang smiled and said something to Eiger, then turned and left. Looking at Song Yang's figure, Eiger couldn't help but have some doubts.

It is not so easy to acquire the Alcatel telecommunications equipment manufacturer, unless there is a major change in France.

Then Eiger's face couldn't help changing. He remembered that Song Yang had a lot of connections with the Little Cowboy family and many big figures from the Elephant Party. He didn't know if Song Yang had heard something.

American Telecom's first work, the line from the Chicago Board of Trade to Wall Street, also began to be laid before the new federal telecommunications law was released. As soon as the new telecommunications law was released, American Telecom immediately soared into the sky. No news like that.

Eiger didn't know if it was the same as that line again this time, and Song Yang received the wind in advance.

But if it is true, it will be another qualitative change for American Telecom. With broadband, telephone business and telecommunications equipment business, American Telecom can almost reach the Telegraph Group in its heyday, and even surpass it. !
The founder team of ICQ, after taking over ICQ again, immediately made a dazzling set of operations, dismantled more than half of ICQ, but also brought back a lot of things.

ICQ claimed that it started acquisition negotiations with Xueleshan Games, and also got back the IMDB website from Western Films. Is this wave of money, or is it true as the rumors say, Song Yang wants to hollow out ICQ, it can be said Yes, opinions vary.

When it came to the Nasdaq stock market, the ICQ stock price jumped repeatedly, and the ups and downs made it impossible for leeks to start. In fact, Wall Street institutions were also entangled. They didn't know whether to buy ICQ stocks. Song Yang There is nothing to say about the famous brand of Song Yang, but ICQ is now only left with the brand of Song Yang.

Don't follow, if ICQ is really reborn from the ashes, and the market value returns to the peak, then these investment banks will probably be able to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge if they regret it. Follow, in case Song Yang comes back this time, he just wants to cut What to do with the leeks? As for whether Song Yang dares to cut the leeks on Wall Street, ask the short sellers who participated in the short-selling Double-click Company and Amazon, whether Song Yang's knife is fast!

No matter how entangled Wall Street is, ICQ has not stopped. On the second day after officially taking over ICQ, ICQ announced again that it has restarted the recruitment of newcomers who have been closed for a long time, which has attracted the attention of the entire Silicon Valley. ICQ is now Silicon Valley. The old Internet company that announced the re-recruitment, the entire Silicon Valley is speculating whether ICQ is making another big move.

Sitting in the rented house, the unkempt Colin McMillan stared at the silent mailboxes such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL Time Warner, etc., eating a meal in his hand, and he couldn't swallow it. special burgers.

He was one of the unlucky ones when the Internet crashed. Less than a month after joining ICQ, he encountered an avalanche of the Internet and was kicked out. He witnessed the collapse of the Internet with his own eyes, and those high-ranking big shots also fell into the mud dust.

Not only Colin McMillan, but the ICQ veterans who took them to high-end restaurants to eat and took their rookies to carnival parties were also swept out.

Since leaving ICQ, he has submitted countless resumes, but all of them have been ignored. Sometimes he saw the news that the company closed down from the news website just after submitting his resume.

E-mail, in addition to spam, can remember Colin McMillan, the rest of the mail is not received,
Colin McMillan often logs on to forums where Internet engineers gather, and his popularity is bleak now. Many Internet engineers have even started to switch careers to other industries, just to make a living.

Looking at the room he rented, Colin McMillan also sighed. Fortunately, when he left ICQ, ICQ compensated them with Song Yang's intervention, allowing Colin McMillan to It can last until now, but now, Colin McMillan is almost unable to last, and he can't find a salary anymore, and he can't afford the broadband fee, and he will be kicked out of San Jose.

Just when Colin McMillan's face was numb and his eyes were lost, he suddenly heard a notification tone from a Hotmail mailbox in his ears. Colin McMillan laughed at himself. He felt that he had already hallucinated.

After a while, Colin McMillan, who was unwilling to give up after all, looked at the computer screen, and then saw the Hotmail mailbox logo flashing continuously, and Colin McMillan's heart suddenly beat rapidly.

Reason told Colin McMillan that this time it was still a spam mail, but with a certain intuition in his heart, Colin McMillan opened the mail with a trembling mouse click.

"Welcome home, Mr Colin Macmillan!"
